Show B ! J Society Saxtnteringf. J H, "I I i Is To judge from the latest local court reports, H I ! i the next international conflict will probably be R. i (" between Japan and Ireland. Hi i K 'i Sam Newhouse brought two very acceptable B i, J prizes from New York, milbh to the delight of B 'i: l- his many friends, among the maids and matrons. H I One was Phil Livermore, who made himself H, very popular a few weeks ago during his visit B ' '4 it here with Count de Laborde, an the guest' of Mr. , fyf j, Newhouse. H !f'Pnj He will remain here until Sam sails for Eu- B , , J rope in July, and will accompany him abroad. B ' ,;, Mr. Livermore is an expert at tennis and golf, B !,! and spends most of his time at the Country Club, B where he is being lionized. K H j' i ; The other prize is for the ladles also but H Jy '' just the ladies who play tennis. It is a gorgeous H 'jj J solid silver tea set from Tiffany's, made espe- H ,' t$j'f clally for Mr. Newhouse, and is beautiful beyond jB jj t description. There are five pieces in the set, ex- H j qulsltely engraved, and the workmanship is mar- B j,tj ! velous. No club trophy of such beauty has ever H ' ,,y J before been offered in the State, and one could H lk) ' travel far without finding such an inducement H offered for athletic skill. B Lucky is the girl who gets it, but it will never H be won without a struggle. It is a trophy for H "singles" only, as one of the conditions govern- H ) ing the gift is that the full set must go to one B J person, and shall not be divided. Mr. Newhouse K ' y ! f makes but one other condition, which is that he B ( ijiP " I be allowed to select the committee to make the mHM i rules governing the contest. iThe tournament for club members only will take place in October. Three months to train to perfection for the handsomest prize ever offered of-fered in a similar contest. Mrs. Clement has sold her automobile at last She has been on the point of disposing of the chug-chug a number of times, but not until her recent trip to the Golden Gate did she finally make up her mind to sell the machine, when the undignified conveyance ran down a handsome man, and put him to the mat for the full count Then its career ended. It is understood that in the unwritten law of automobile etiquette, when the chug-chug feels that it must run somebody some-body down it must choose the unattractive, for no gentleman would allow his auto to run down a pretty woman, and certainty no lady could keep a bubble that would try to put one of the few handsome men in the world out of business. i And speaking of the delights of the touring car, the big Toledo, recently purchased by Sam Newhouse, gets here today, and it will take first place among local chug-chugs. It is described as a very beautiful machine, with a maximum speed of a mile a minute, roomy and restful, and perfect per-fect in every detail. It is not to receive the rough usage that the Winton has been subjected to, for Mr. Newhouse declares that It will never be used unless he is one of the occupants. Is it possible that Russia has formed an alliance al-liance with Ireland in her conflict with Japan? it t Kt p$ v ii The lawyers in the case of Nan Pattersop, who was in the cab with the late "Caesar" Young are overlooking a point They should subpoena the gilded society youth who whirled Nan about town during her ephemeral career in this city. He should be able to give expert testimony on the shooting, for Nan got him half shot a number num-ber of times. J V J The absurdity of devoting columns to descriptions de-scriptions of every society event, in the dailies, is constantly growing more apparent. And the stories grow longer every week. Those who write them are not to blame, for the long stories are "orders," but it is extremely countryfied to say the least. Society news deserves good space, but it is not necessary to tell an anxious public that the decorations consisted of ten thousand blossoms, each blossom having ten petals, in order to inr-press inr-press those who weren't there with the magnificence magnifi-cence missed. Most "gorgeous decorations" consist con-sist of a couple of sickly palms and a bunch of famished carnations. & & A The artistic home of the Henry Diawoodeys was the scene of a brilliant reception on Tuesday Tues-day in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Leroy G. Dinwoodey. The affair was an extremely beautiful event, and hundreds of friends called during the evening. Assisting Mr. and Mrs. Dinwoodey were Mrs. Heber M. Wells, Mrs. George B. Dalton, Mrs. James Jennings, Mrs. A. B. Walker, Mrs. Frank Jennings, Mrs. Kenneth Kerr, Mrs. Wm. Reld, Mrs. Richard P. Morris and Mrs. Joseph Jennings. W W W The Crysanthemum against the Shamrock.

( V ( Pearl Weller's Kensington for Miss May Billings, was the jolllest kind of an affair, one feature in particular resulting in no end of fuu. Prizes were offered for the best limericks written writ-ten .to the bride, Miss Eva Thomas capturing! first place, but there seems to be some mystery about the limerick she wrote. The girls are all giggling about it and no one will tell what it contained.

The father of the bride, Rev. T. W. Pinkerton, performed the ceremony in the presence of some two hundred friends of the young people. Following Follow-ing the ceremony a reception was held at the home of the bride's parents.

Reed arranged the card tables on the broad verandas of her hoihe at the party given by her on Thursday, at which she entertained en-tertained some forty lauies. And that is a good Idea for anyone contemplating a card party to follow. fol-low. Your guests think a whole lot more of your entertainment if you do not force them in the house in the summer time. The Reed affair was one of the the really delightful affairs of the week. Jfi Dorothy Kinney's lake party on Thursday evening was all kinds of fun, and a great Inducement Induce-ment for others to try that form of entertainment. The whole success of a Lake party lies in choosing choos-ing a few people who can get along together, and some satisfactory chaperones. w Mrs. Ezra Thompson was hostess at an elaborate elab-orate tea given on Wednesday afternoon at her home on Brigham street. It was one of the prefc- tlest affairs of the many similar events of the month of roses, and was enjoyed by about a hundred guests. 5 V (V The announcement of the coming marriage of Thomas J. Lynch at Tonopah, Nev., came as a great surprise to his many friends in this city, who had no idea that he was contemplating entering en-tering the blissful state, but who wish him all happiness. The young lady is Miss Julia Roberts. j & The reception and dance given by Captain and Mrs. John B. "Woodward at the Post Hall on Monday evening was a most delightful affair. It was really a house-warming at which the people of town mot the officers and ladies of the new regiment, and the hall never looked prettier or held a merrier throng. Old Glory and characteristic Filipino trophies were used in the indoor decorations with unique effect, and out of doors the grounds were beautified beau-tified with fantastic lanterns. The affair reminded remind-ed one of the old days at the Fort, and judging I from the spirit of the occasion, the winter season at the garrison will be the best for many a year. Mrs. Edwin S.
